Lieutenant Owen Whitaker, of Pa
ola. Kansas. enroute for California,
stopped off here yesterday to visit his
old army comrades, Frank Schuster
and D. F. Robinson, whom he had
not seen since the war;
On last Friday evening a very en-
joyable supper was given at the resi-
dence of Ed. Kellum, two miles east
of the city, by the M. E. church So
ciety of that neighborhood. 1t was
a success both financially and socially,
as goodly number OF people were
in attendance.
Ed. keenan,, we'll known i'll this
city, fell from a train on the D. M. q
A. near Seward, Stafford county land
died from the injuries sustained. 1t
seems that Sunday while boarding a
train, he was taken with fit, and as
the train was passing over creek,
he lost his grasp and fell, striking the
ground below, sustaining injuries,
which resulted in death Tuesday af-
ternOOn.
A few days ago two horse traders,
who have been pulled up before the
lower courts of this city more times
than one, showed up in Ellinwood with
another trader called Frenchy, who
had some money and a trading out
fit. The trio, soon after their arrival,
got on a bowling drunk, and after
blowing in nearly all their money. the
first two mentioned drove out in the
country with their companion and
dumped him out on the prairie, dead
drunk, and then went back and tried
to steal the outfit, but they were too
drunk to get out of town, and the
next morning when Frenchy awoke
he was arrested for being drunk, and
the other two skipped out. Frenchy
found his outfit scattered all over the
town.

what It Is to be professional man, knew
well that law and the duties of county
superiHtendent are enough for two men of
extraordinary ability. IL it were not no
important TO guard against the election of
such men who are in other. professions,
Hon. e. E. Higbee, Superintendent of
Public Schools of Pennsylvania, would not
have written an article bealing directly on
this subject. The few superintendents in
this State who have other professions like
Mr.. Snyder, caused DR.. Higbee to write
an article on this subject. 1t is written for
doctors, lawyers and ministers, who are in
office and are trying to be reelected on the
irst Tuesday in May. Every director In
the county should read the State Superin-
tendents article in the Pennsylvania
School Journal before he goes to the con-
vention. Any one who reads his article
cannot conscientiously support T. A. Sny-
der.
Much has been said of late In the papers
OF Mr.. Snyder's success and ability. Since
he is in office our schools have made no
progress whatever, except in towns, and
what advancements are made there il due
TO the principals. Is he fully able to show
teacher by actual teaching the methods
as, they are given in Quincy Methodist
Some of eur best primary teachers asked
him again and again to show them by real
teaching how TO apply those methods In
the school room. He never did it, He
condemns some Of their very best methods
for the very fact that he probably does not
understand them. -, ,,.,.
A manis work always speaks for itself.
But as soon as he cannot show good re-
suits directly in. the work done by himself
he resorts to some other means. Does Mr..
Snyder try to keep up his record in some
such way? presume most of the teachers
and directors have the pamphlet containing
the proceedings of our last institute: in it
you find clippings from some county papers
stating that the plan of the institute was
an original idea With the superintendent.
Mr.. Snyder knows as well as we do that
institutes were conducted in this mannef
III quitO uuuuotE VI years.. L lie lnSJl-
tutes in the States of Illinois and Iowa are
conducted in similar way. Schuylkill
county, Reading and Allegheny City have
been conducting their institutes in this
way for three or four years, If he were a
man he would net try to make teachers,
directors and the people of the county be-
lieve that he Is the author of the plan in
which our institute was conducted last
year.
Again, if Mr. Snyder should be reelected
he will serve only one term longer and then
we will be obliged to elect new man. BY
this he clearly tells us that in three years
he can make more in the profession of law
than one thousand dollars. Shall the chill
dren of Carbon county be robbed intellec-
tually for the sake of giving young law
yer living until his practice pl omises him
a livelihood?
